HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summertime is a holiday time and this year’s vacation is approaching
fast. The overcrowded motorways confirm: many prefer to use their own
car when going on holiday. No wonder - thanks to the car, one is
flexible, not bound by strict baggage limits and remains mobile once at
the destination. The joy of the holiday can, however, quickly dissipate
with a sudden breakdown. To spare oneself such an unpleasant situation,
a vehicle and tyre check is recommended in good time before the trip.

“Incorrect tyre pressure is the most common cause of punctures. This can
cause tyre to burst under the loaded or even overloaded vehicle.
Motorists should therefore definitely check and adjust their tyre
pressure in accordance with the load. Normally, air pressure should be
checked when the tyres are cold. The reference values specified for this
purpose by the manufacturer can be found in the vehicles operating
instructions”, explains Thierry Delesalle from Mytyres.co.uk. “Also,
check the condition of your tyres before departure. Look for damage such
as cracks or bulging. Importantly, don’t forget to measure the tread
depth”, advises Delesalle. In Europe, a minimum legally required tread
depth of summer tyres is 1.6 mm. To ensure maximum safety, according to
the German Automobile Club ADAC, summer tyres should be replaced with
fresh ones when the tread depth reaches 3 mm. This applies also to the
spare wheel.

“The age of the tyres also plays a role. Even if not used, traction may
be reduced dramatically despite an adequate tread depth”, explains
further Delesalle. “That can be the case, for example, with caravans and
other trailers, which are not moved much throughout the year. Speaking
of caravans: when tyres are exposed to strong sunlight at a campsite, UV
radiation can also be detrimental to them. Here, it is also wise to cast
a second or even third eye over the tyres.”

“Careful tyre management pays for itself with greater safety. Worn or
damaged tyres can lead to dangerous situations. Even with a positive
end, when it comes to a breakdown the frustration is big - punctured
tyres cost time, money and especially nerves. To prevent such
breakdowns, we recommend purchasing new tyres when defects have been
identified”, advises Delesalle. “With us, motorists can find appropriate
replacements quickly and easily at Mytyres.co.uk.”
